Hi folks, I'm here to peddle my wares at my brand new sh✧p! Testing the waters with art prints, acrylic charms and other little accessories!
This has been a little dream of mine since high school, and I'm so glad to finally have one open! I look forward to where it goes!
(Hope you guys are well, btw! I've been away since my move, but I'm slowly getting things back in gear!)
Today my brother pushed me, so I'm starting a kickstarter to put him down. The benefits of killing him would be that I would get pushed way less.

I have been trying to find for sooo looong that comic(?) or story you once said you were redrawing/remaking in your twitter, the one with Sora drinking from the cup and Riku on the other side that's on your background; but I have no idea whare to find it or even what I'm supposed to be looking for ToT Can I get any leads or info? Many, many thanks ♥♥♥
OH!! THATS actually from a zine that had its run a few years ago and is no longer being sold! The one in my background is from a redraw of one of the pages I did recently (and still havent fully finished LOL) I may re-release the old comic again independently in the near future though!
hi! i was just wondering if you have any tips or tricks on how you draw hair? i'm personally not very good at it and i am attempting to add more intrigue to my character designs by drawing more varieties of hair (especially fantasy-esque styles) and i absolutely adore the way you draw hair <3 (especially kai and samos' hair!) so i was wondering if youve got any advice or refences for something like that. anyway, thanks for taking the time to read. love your art and your videos!!! <33
Oh for sure! I'll try to release a more comprehensive reference for ways I go about hair in the future, but I'll see about slapping a some examples together soon, as well as release some older footage of me digitally rendering some hair. >:3
The art I did for one of my witchy charms! Just a prototype to go with my Vograce video, but Im still really into it, and would love to order more for a full shop release some time. 🌙💜🦋

Heya I've been drawing for a few years now but I'm still learning every day and I'm more than aware of the skill gap between me and others which is fine I am willing to work hard and improve. You and your art is a really big inspiration to me and I hope to reach your level someday. Can't help however but be really demotivated and easily affected by the difference between me and others and I know I shouldn't compare myself with people who have been drawing for wayyy longer than I have. What was your experience while improving your art? Any words of wisdom from the bird? I love drawing and I don't want to lose this kind of connection to it but most of the hours I spend practising are driven by spite and hatred over my own self aaaagh is this too personal lol thank god for the anonymous option lol I LOVE YOUR ART, I look at everything your passion for art overflows through your work.
Hey, pal! It's nothing to fret over, and I'm glad you feel comfortable sharing this! I think getting all your thoughts out this way is already good way to start, and I hope that alone was able to let off some steam on the subject.
I absolutely know how this feels, and it's still something that crops up for me time to time, too! It's gotten easier to manage over the years, but there's certainly times where it's taken the wind outta my sails and sunk my energy to be creative.
I think when you're wrapped up in that headspace, the best thing to do is stop the struggle and don't try to force progress. Don't even allow yourself to problem solve, or ask anything from yourself when that cloud's over your head. There have been plenty of times where I just end up making myself feel worse by simply asking "why do I like to create in the first place?" because I'll come up with overly critical answers "well, it's the only thing I'm good at"
Hi!! I hope you're having a great day/night/afternoon!! I used to watch your OC videos all the time when I was younger!! Glad to see you uploading on YouTube again, and I loved your Kai video!! I was wondering if you have any tips (or tricks) for character ref sheets, as I'm currently developing one for an OC of mine! I already have a backstory, a color palette, as well as references, but I'm not sure how to go from there. The character themself (as in like body size), clothing designs, accessories, the placement of everything on the ref sheet? You, of course, don't have to reply to this, but any comments would help!!
Hi! Thanks so much for watching my videos! I think this is a fantastic question. I love making character sheets, and I'd do them a lot more often if they weren't so time consuming. (Though, they don't have to be -- I think its a me problem lol!) But they're SUPER handy both for whoever you may commission to draw them, and yourself if said character has a detail heavy design. Even if this character sheet is just for you, I think it's fun to look at it from the perspective of a hypothetical someone who desires to cosplay (or draw or 3D model) your character and needs a sheet in which to ref from! What things do you think they'd need? I absolutely recommend making a few notes of what you want to spotlight, and doing some thumbnails on how you want to section things out. (they don't have to be this neat, like, AT ALL lmao)
What angles would be helpful to see? What particular accessories would someone value a closer a closer look at?
Part 2 of some of the last minute sketches I included in Kai's lore video, that feature characters I've never gotten to draw before until now!
-- Some new art from Kai's video! 🐚🌊
Hey I made an OC lore video about Kai after like 3 years of promising to do so. I know folks have been asking about it, and I'm sorry it's taken this long! I'm glad I did end up waiting on it though, and you'll see why!
you wouldn't believe the unholy SCREECH i let out when your new video popped up in my youtube, they never showed me your other videos so i didnt know you were back until now! I was OBSESSED with your videos in highschool and I've since graduated but mannn i have been going through your videos all day! Kai is the reason i have an undercut AND my hair is down to my waist lol. Anyways just wanted to say I'm excited you're back and thanks for being an art inspiration to teen me, she really needed it
AHH I'm so GLAD Oh my goodness! I should advertise better, huh... It's so wild to hear some folks have been listening since high school...it's been that long, huh! It makes me smile :') thank you for the support even after all these years after! I'm like SO STOKED to hear you're rockin that long hair undercut look because of that little goober, that RULES AW!!!
I'm currently hyperfixating on Samos and crew, so I would like palettes for those characters, please
I hope you don't mind if I publish this one! Might be good to have on file. I actually rarely stick to a standard guide, but having one on hand like this is a good reference point! So thank you for prompting me to make one. The first three colors are Skin - Hair - Eyes, while the remaining make up clothing. - one thing of note! For Kai, when he's using magic, I'll usually add slight detailing of blue in his right eye, and green in the left.
